DAY 82

17.3.2017 Ljubacevo - Knezevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. We slept in beautiful and worth of visiting "Ethno village" in Ljubačke valley. Its designed and set as an open-air museum with the intention of showing the life of a community that used to inhabit this area, its traditional architecture, material culture, and furniture. It was like a time travel, to wake up, eat breakfast and move from this beautiful and hospitable spot. The route was planned mostly along busy R414 road. It took us some navigation effort to get to it as the map wasnt so detailed and GPS navigation is not always perfect in distant areas. During the way we climed a beutiful tree to have some rest from marching. On the road we had police attention but unfortunately not a big protection. Curvy road with heavey traffic wasn't very secure and comfortable. Not far away from Knezevo we came across two small puppies who were left at the road. They obviously have been abandoned. Despite the decision of Kaja, our march master, to leave the dogs behind and dont give them any attention we tried our best efforts to find a place for them in the nearest houses. When we fail in this task we tried to leave them and run away. But they kept chaising us for hundereds of meters. Finally we decided to take them with us and eventually decide later about their future fate. Jan, Alex, Denis, Ismahan and Anna were in the logistics team. Krystian started the day with us but wasnt marching nor was the part of the logistics, but came later to overnight with the group. In the evening we had to discuss what will we do with the puppies. Reasonable minds were all against but at the end won those who were compassionate for the puppies - Ilde and Pablo took the responsibility for the dogs on them and promissed to care about them during next days. Marchers: 16. Planned: 32km, Real: 39 km.
